In brief
Dancing Hare (formerly Lady Ghislaine and Lady Mona K) is a superyacht built by Amels in 1986.
Built for Emad Khashoggi, she was then purchased, also in 1986, by Robert Maxwell, who died by drowning in 1991 while cruising on the yacht off the Canary Islands. She was then owned by an Arabian businessman who sold her in 2017. The new owner, Anna Murdoch, had her refitted and renamed Dancing Hare.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 767 gross tons, Dancing Hare is the 68,458th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 7.8 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 311 yachts held here, it ranks 195th by tonnage — larger than 30% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,352 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 5,565 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Cayman Islands (101 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Lürssen, with 27 hulls on record.
Dancing Hare was built in 1986, making it 40 years old. It is one of 866 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,769 GT; within it this ship is the 682nd largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 100 vessels to Damen Group, with a median tonnage of 450 GT, delivered between 1964 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 57.5 m overall, Dancing Hare is 7.7 m shorter than the 65.2 m median for yachts on record, with a beam of 9.2 m and a draft of 3.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 1002378 this registry holds 37 other vessels, whose median build year is 1986 and which range from 1931 to 1993. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1986.
Its IMO number, 1002378, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 1×7 + 0×6 + 0×5 + 2×4 + 3×3 + 7×2 = 38 — and the last digit of that total, 8, must equal the seventh digit, 8. It does, so this number is well formed.
